Fixed Price Offer

Take some of the guesswork out of your fertiliser costs

Fixed Price Offer - Spring 2025 gives you the opportunity to fix the price on a range of key Ballance products from 1 September 2025 until 28 February 2026.

It’s a financial tool to help you manage some of the risk from volatile commodity prices providing certainty on your input costs. 

In addition to the 100% fixed price offering, we also have a 50% fixed 50% floating option. In this respect, it’s a bit like having a fixed interest rate for part of your mortgage, while the rest of the loan is on a floating rate. You have some baseline certainty while still allowing some ability to ride market changes (up or down).

As globally traded commodities, fertiliser prices have become much more volatile in recent years, which in turn can create uncertainty when managing your business. 

Opting to fix may help you manage this price risk and benefit your business through:   

  • Stability: Fixed Pricing lets you lock in more of your input cost, minimising the risks to your business 
  • Certainty: You can budget and forecast more accurately in a volatile environment, helping your business stay on track. 
  • Ease: A simple tool in your financial toolkit to use when it suits your business. 

An application process will apply to allow all Ballance Shareholders to participate.
